Abstract	José Aquiles Baesso Grimoni, USP Escola Politécni ca, aquiles@pea.usp.br Abstract The teachers of engineering courses in Brazilian public schools are recruited and selected mainly in function of their capacity to produce research. Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo (Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo) is not an exception to the rule and most of its professors do not have a didactic and pedagogic background. Escola Politécnica da USP has about 500 teachers with broa d and diversified ideas and values concerning the val idity of the actions to be implemented in education, but few of them have the pedagogical training that might help them in the conduction of teaching. The Undergraduate Commission does not succeed in valuing attitudes an d practices only by imposing guidelines in regulation s or recommendations. The existence of a study group on the teaching of engineering might motivate and foster t he adherence of a larger number of professors to capacitation in teaching technology, in pedagogy an d in learning psychology. It is always fundamental to di scuss a systematic assessment of the courses to allow the B oard of any institution to act so as to correct deficien cies and to promote initiatives for improving quality. The need to establish indicators is evident and this paper disc usses their definition and the implementation tools to generate and evaluate them.
